"I demand censorship of views I disagree with", redux
How will this look when the roles are reversed? Feels shortsighted, but also unsurprising. Lines up perfectly with the truthiness, "My truth is bigger than yours" theme.
Scientism has become the new secular religion, with all of the intolerance decried as backwards and illiberal elsewhere. There's also doomsday theology. Repent by tabooing meat or worse.
Just yesterday someone posted a link here: "Man ends his life after an AI chatbot 'encouraged' him to sacrifice himself to stop climate change"
I'm not outraged, but disappointed. Hoping we can do better. The entire philosophical premise is problematic, but I doubt we'll have a chance to explore that in a genuine way here. These questions are basically heretical.
